The coronavirus outbreak has left millions living in fear since it began its devastating spread across the globe. The pandemic has brought all the social and economic activities to a halt but it has not caused the humanity to be lost among humans.
The COVID-19 has altered the way of life but it has not stopped people from helping others. It has caused an unprecedented surge of voluntary efforts to save and protect our communities.
Aisha Khan, a Pakistani-American, is one of those volunteers who obeys stay-at-home instructions but is also not afraid of going outside when it comes to helping others.
Known to many in her Maryland state for her political activism as well as humanitarian work, Aisha takes her passion to work for humanity to the next level and has gone an extra mile in coming out and helping those individuals who are in dire need of food items.
She believes that the unfolding crisis affects everyone and that it has got no religion, no color and no race.
“It’s all about saving humanity,” she told Views and News.
“For me humanity comes first, and this unexpected situation has put countless people in adverse circumstances, and I consider it my duty to serve these under privileged citizens,” she said Saturday after distributing food among those affected financially by the crisis.
Her motivation to help communities is a driving force, says Aisha, whose work as an immigrant Muslim and Pakistani-American has won praise among Washington communities.

Something, she says, also encouraged her to become active in politics as well when she ran for a public office in the state.
Although distributing food to the people is a challenging task these days, Aisha remains committed to her mission of collecting and distributing food items to the people in need. She puts on the mask and takes precautionary measures and says nothing comes in her way to help others.
Aisha is also CEO of an NGO, “Children’s Development Center” which focuses on providing health and nutritional services to under privileged children in the society.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, she initially started her work with distributing baby formula to people in the local community who no longer had access to food stamps, and those who had lost their jobs.
Later, Maryland state donated three food trucks to her organization to be distributed in the local communities.
“It was challenging for me, and my team to distribute this food, taking into account all the safety measures which should be observed under current circumstances.
“With the hard work and determination of my team, we were able to provide all food to the needy people in a very careful manner,” she says.
She is particularly thankful to businessman Irfan Yaqub, who provided his large warehouse to store supplies, and mediaperson David Salik for transporting food to homes of the people who cannot make it to the distribution point.
She also added that, “my husband Raees Khan and kids’ support is a big driving force behind all of my courage and motivation to serve my community.”
Aisha believes that anyone who can make a difference in making people’s lives better even at a small scale should do so because every step counts as long as it is taken in a right direction.
